Marco Rubio: Pardoned Minnesota child sex offender deported from US, legal status revoked
Key Points:
- Federal officials deported Tou Lue Vang, a child sex offender pardoned in Minnesota last month, after revoking his legal status in the U.S.
- Vang, originally from Laos, was convicted in 2006 for first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a 10-year-old girl.
- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and the Board of Pardons faced federal criticism for pardoning Vang, which initially prevented his deportation.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Vang's removal ensures he will no longer pose a threat to Americans.
